Country-Risk Analysis is a comprehensive, practical guide to the
management of international risk and cross-border lending. The last
fifteen years of international commercial bank lending have
witnessed a classical boom-and-bust cycle. Yet it is only recently
that a formalized approach to country risk assessment has been
implemented in the major international banks. Ron Solberg's volume
provides a state-of-the-art review of the country risk techniques
that have evolved in the context of dramatic changes in developing
countries' debt service capacity and in international lending
itself. It deals comprehensively with sovereign credit decision
making, portfolio management, lending behaviour and financial
innovations.
